Another morning at Puri Saron hotel means another morning where you don’t know what to choose for breakfast between all those yummy choices they have! After breakfast we found guide number 4, Made, that took us on the Eat, Pray and Love tour, a tour (with a new driver of course) to know more closely Bali traditions. The first step was the hindu temple (the majority of the population in Bali its Hindu) of Pura Luhur Batukaru, in the middle of the tropical forest, on the mountains. Since we made the purification and we carried offers (well Made carried for us) and we wore the typical balinese costume, we were able to attend the actual ‘mass’ where tourists are normally not admitted. This allowed us to visit the entire temple, normally tourist can see only the first part of it, and I can say that the faith of this people, celebrated with tiny offers like flowers or candies, in such a beautiful open spot moved me.

The plane we took in Doha at 2 A.M. was directed to Singapore, still with Qatar airways. Maybe I watched the Han Solo movie on this flight, but for the majority of the time guess what? Yes. I’ve slept! We arrived in Singapore at around 3 P.M. and our driver was waiting for us inside the airport. We had to change our euros in local dollars, it was impossible to do so in Italy, and then we went to our hotel: Robertson Quay Hotel. We left our luggages and went out to take a taxi. In Singapore the best way to move around the city are for sure taxis, the city is full of taxi stands just look around you and you’ll find one. (Even if, I admit, I used to stop them wherever I was, also in the highway!) There are different types of cars and colors and depending on it you will be able to pay with your credit card or just by cash. The majority of taxi drivers we met were really kind and smiley, just be aware that their idea of english won’t be the same as yours and sometimes you will have to show them the name of the place or the street you want to go to on your phone. Our very first stop was the Flower Dome at Gardens By The Bay. Why not the Cloud Forest? You’ll may ask. Well, cause unlucky it was closed for maintenance. For the ones of you that don’t know it, Flower Dome it’s a conservatory inside Gardens By The Bay (which I will focus on later) where you can find the most typical plants you will find in Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Oceania, all grown in strange shapes. They also have a flower exposition that changes during the year (for us it was Dorothy of Oz) and one of the most exclusive restaurant in the city (or should I say state?): Pollen.

And here we are with the series of post dedicated to out trip in Asia. I was dithering if it was better to write all the legs in the first post, bu then I thought that it would have been more funny to discover them day by day. Line by line. Let’s start then with the first one: Milan Malpensa airport where we took the first of many flights: direction Doha in Qatar. It was impossible not to take a photo with my travelling outfit (I love wearing skirts or dresses, expecially on long flight cause I tend to swell) and luggages and eat some sugar for lunch while waiting to go on the plane.

Like it has to be our morning started with breakfast. Since the one we had at our hotel the day before we decided to go out to do it. Precisely at Spitteleck and it was better and cheaper! We then moved to Charlottenburg; a place that surprised me positively. I’ve always been passionate with castles and palaces (guess why, I grew up in front of one the most beautiful ones we have in Italy!), and for me nothing in the world was better than Versailles. Well since the day we went visiting this complex of Palaces and gardens propriety of the Prussian Kings I have to re-think about that. Now I really think they can go side by side on my top 10 of best historical houses. I certainly advice you to go, but once there, don’t run from one place to another, take your audioguide and listen all the stories behind what you’re seeing. Now I’ll let the photos we took speak for themselvs, pay attention at rococo details, my favorite style in art and architecture that has is triumph in these buildings.

Today I will start my guide to discover the best of Strasbourg with the audioguide city tour. Yes, to discover the smallest and superinteresting things of this city there’s nothing better than that. You take your audioguide at the touristic office for 5€ and you will go around the city centre with this voice (in many languages!) telling you all the secrets of what’s around you.

A couple of photos taken by mom. I’ve always thought that behind every portrait there’s a special way the photographer sees his or her model. It’s unique how a mommy see her little girl, as I’ll always be for her. One day I’ll be the mommy of someone and I’ll take my camera and shoot his or her portrait and it will be super special, because it will be full of my love. This is what I see in my mother’s ones. Even if we have many fights, even if we don’t see each other so much, there’ll always be something so very magical that connects us.

It happened guys: my summer session of exams is over and hopefully will be the last one! I’ve only imagined this moment in my happiest dreams: no more super hot days spent on my books! Now I have a week of relax where I’ll go around Italy just to relax a bit and next saturday I’ll start working (and studying for september, ouch!), but my mind is like renewed! No holidays this summer, but I’ll recover after my deegree with a month long USA coast to coast 😉 And what are you planning to do this summer? Tell me in the comments!

Originality is the key for success. I don’t remember where I’ve heard this, but it’s definetely true. Everytime you do something try to rise above the others. Be brave, be you, do the thing that represents you and you’ll be noticed, no matter what is your field, just do it. Start with little things and one day you’ll be big. Follow the light that’s inside you and you’ll win!

Have you ever had the desire of having fun without any worry? Call your dearest friends when the weekend calls, go out without a destination just for one night? This is what we’ll do tonight, it’s forbidden to think about anything but ourselvs, to a beautiful evening that we know when it starts, but when it ends. If you don’t hear about me anymore it means that I didn’t came back ahah! Just kidding, tomorrow morning we go back to real life, but tonight I’m not here for anyone. We need more nights like this! I hate trite things: dining always at the same restaurant, taking drinks always at the same bar e go dancing always at the same disco. When I can release myself I spend those nights that are written in my story. In the pictures another of my work outfits, fresh, light and pink, a little crazy, like I love it! What are your programs for tonight guys?
